Help me mod my AU - Page 3

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 08:32 AM

So in short,

1)Get car legal - ETA 3 Weeks
2) Buy race tyres and wheels to suit
3) Go racing, run 12's
4) Get a retune, run 11's
5) Start other mods.

Ur mate was giving you a laptop......... Im glad he changed his mind.

Its a sick sick world

Sundeep · 03-06-2005, 11:20 AM

I knew it wouldn't be long until there was a thread like this lol.

Dan, plates;

BOGAN
BOGAN6

I'm sure you'll appreciate my effort in thinking of those.

Oh and another suggestion, get rid of those ugly *** spotties. Has it got AU2 rear lights on it? I can't remember.

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 11:22 AM

Yep good job sunny.

Yeah it has AU2's. Driving lights will be coming off, they dont suit.

EFFalcon · 03-06-2005, 11:39 AM

make it look like a AU1 XR ;)

Casper · 03-06-2005, 11:51 AM

Well, I "could" tell you what was the next planned mod for it if you want :P

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 12:04 PM

Yep tell me! Was it a 6 speed?

JC · 03-06-2005, 12:54 PM

Dan - how about personalised plates? That's about all that beast needs. How's BAKILR? BA Killer - as in BA XR6T!

You have modified body kit, slightly modified engine, painted brakes (lol) and big rims, custom interior and a stereo you are happy with. The only thing you have said you would like to change is the wheels - I reckon this is what you should do and then you will have a beast you are totally happy with.

TUFED6 · 03-06-2005, 01:19 PM

Dan, the whole point is that its all done already! Just drive it! Alot!

If you're desperate to stamp your name on it I'd paint it an eye bending colour and put some chrome rims on it.

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 01:22 PM

Hmm good point, who wants to buy some 19 inch fury's?

I wonder what they are worth, I think the tyres on them are worth a bit.
I would really love some de corsa's

Mmm they are awesome.

Should I go down to 18's? With a nice deep dish like the Impul's above.

Hmm Im going to seem some money now :(

True, this is part of the reason for buying it. I told the parents it was okay cos I wouldnt have to spend anything on it.

au-steve · 03-06-2005, 01:26 PM

hey dan why not turbo it!

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 01:33 PM

Why didnt I think of that before?

How much did your setup cost? Is it mad?

Where can I get it done?

au-steve · 03-06-2005, 01:37 PM

well i reckon you should go down to gas reasearch and ask for a massive GT40 turbo with custom manifold and rebuilt engine, then run it all with a haltec ECU, then get your BTR worked and shift kitted, oh while your at it get some of thoses 4 pot AP racing brakes ... 4 of em! on all your wheels!
hmmm, wot a sick car.
Pitty it aint yours ;)

au-steve · 03-06-2005, 01:38 PM

btw, you should see 260 rwkw...

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 01:41 PM

Ahh sweet, any idea what that will cost me? Sounds expensive.

au-steve · 03-06-2005, 01:43 PM

if you shop around you may only have to spend $(censored)!

not sure if ppl are aware of how much you paid.

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 01:45 PM

nope. Nice censorship work.

Good idea, Ill shop around.

lol.

You still coming to NSW for the road trip?

nah, his next serious mod on it was to fit IRS. We discussed that over coffee one day and he wanted to do the interior then the IRS.

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 02:31 PM

I wouldnt mind a bit of IRS, I wonder how hard it would be to do though? What would the benefits be? Oviously more traction in a straight line but what else?

I wonder how much I could get away doing all that for?

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 02:32 PM

How about a Rear end swap casper? Losing the 70 odd KG's or whatever it is would put you into the 14's surely

how about a front end swap and I'll get rid of all those pesky EPA issues you have? :hihi:

jonbays · 03-06-2005, 02:49 PM

With the power you have stay with the live rear axle.

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 02:50 PM

Any reason why one is better than the other with the power I have?

EFFalcon · 03-06-2005, 02:59 PM

I don't imagine it'd be too hard, since it can be fitted to an eseries without too much hassle.
saying that, i wouldn't ever bother.

SWOOP · 03-06-2005, 03:02 PM

stuff IRS it sucks putting the power down mine does anyways ,and for the cost to fit it you could get it done properly with the (weld in) adjustable four link rear like a real drag car

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 03:02 PM

We will see how my new tyres go once I get them, I think they will be fine.

So any other ideas.

dansedgli · 03-06-2005, 05:01 PM

From the monday of Queens B'day weekend. Be home thursday night if there is no hiccups.

GlennBA · 04-06-2005, 12:05 AM

I'd keep the 18's over 19's. 19" deep dish would be awesome i reckon..
